Former President Donald Trump had been widely discussing with “close associates” ahead of his 2024 presidential campaign bringing back the death penalty, expanding the execution methods used by the federal government, and even broadcasting executions as a means to deter violent crime and drug dealers, Rolling Stone reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources close to Trump.
Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng and Patrick Reis write that Trump has been regularly asking those around him, “What do you think of firing squads?”
The article adds that “Trump has talked about bringing back death by firing squad, by hanging, and, according to two of the sources, possibly even by guillotine. He has also, sources say, discussed group executions. Trump has floated these ideas while discussing planned campaign rhetoric and policy desires, as well as his disdain for President Biden’s approach to crime.”
“He has even, one of the sources recounts, mused about televising footage of executions, including showing condemned prisoners in the final moments of their lives,” noted the article.

Mmmkay…
That’s Entertainment.
Along with AOC, precisely whose airing would be available to us; and just exactly what would be aired out, and for how long?
I think a modern form of Gladiator would be a pay per view gold mine!! Even regular TV advertisers would be shell out nig dough for a spot!!
would shell out big dough for a spot!!**
Air executions? Is that where they fling them out of a chopper? TRUMP 2024!
No.
And the problem with this is??????
Up first, Ron DeSantis.
The PPV aspect could easily cover the cost..
No need for group executions; simply bringing back the electric chair over Big Pharma-controlled drug cocktails and actually executing the people on death row would be a huge win. Of course all of this is a moot point if Trump doesn’t win in 2024. All in all, I’m sticking with DeSantis, who has a proven record of prosecuting voter fraud and winning elections by larger margins than Trump.
Klaus, Bill, Tony,...
Hopefully, the executions will start with Mediate employees. /spit
its either a deterrent or it isnt i say this way is one helluva deterrent!

When I read “Trump Reportedly” I know what follows is BS.
I’m OK with that if he starts with the media and certain other left-wing rioters.
Yes! And I’d sure like to see the vagrancy laws re-established.
Rapists/murders can be shot lower than their hearts...
I prefer the Garibaldi solution.
